From: libertidad@south.south.com   
      
   I run a video blog on Twitter.  It is solely dedicated to the Ukraine   
   war for freedom and to feed my blog, I have accounts with over 400   
   Telegram channels, which is the medium of choice (phones, gopro,   
   helmet cams, etc) for combatants on both sides & political feeds -   
   ukraine & russian.   
      
   These chans are updated all day every day in ukrainian & russian   
   language, so google translate is mandatory.  I pride myself on having   
   the feeds well before most of the prolific twitter posters & I have   
   therefore, since early in the war, around 2000 followers who see every   
   post I make, and many many thousands of viewers who are not followers   
   - some of my vids have been viewed up to almost a million times.   
   Twitter is far more difficult to obtain followers than Instagram, FB   
   and all those garbage media.  Twitter is the choice of the political   
   intelligentsia etc.   
      
   TG is the fucking wild west.  I have been banned from Twitter at least   
   5 times because of content I post gained from TG.  Russian corpses,   
   thousands of them, don't   go down too well on Twitter.  Therefore, I   
   post under a nick.   
      
   I am also a news source to some extent, online only - quoted if that's   
   the right word.  I only follow a score or so on Twitter and never use   
   Twitter as a source, I only use TG.   
      
   My account is entirely pro-Ukraine because that's the right side of   
   history & I appreciate the western ways of life, such as free rights   
   to vote & democracy.  & capitalism, with all its faults, is better   
   than the thief-in-law shit that passes for commerce in the USSR.   
      
   The number of thinking followers I have is indicative of my   
   understanding of the situation in the war.  Put bluntly, Russia is   
   having its arse kicked - even now, they can't (with WagnerPMC mercs)   
   take Bakhumt and Russia is already digging defensive trenches along   
   the north shores of Crimea, waiting for the Ukrainian assault which   
   will surely kick Russia entirely out of Ukraine and then, who knows -   
   Ukraine now has the battle hardened soldiers capable of taking the   
   fight right into Russia.  That will be the end of Putin.   
      
   Putin's threats of nuclear war are simply bluff, and the bluff has   
   been called.  American boomers (SSBNs such as the Ohio class each with   
   enough thermonuclear warheads to entirely eliminate Russia forever)   
   are numerous, silent, stealthy, can stay underwater for literally   
   years, and cannot be stopped by Russia - Putin knows starting a   
   nuclear war will end him, his daughters, wives, firends, associates   
   and his entire race of Russian people, forever.  He's not that stupid   
   and he is a fucking coward.   
      
   Zelenskyy yesterday visited Bakhmut.  Putin hasn't been anywhere near   
   the frontlines, far too cowardly for that.   
      
   I know what I'm talking about.  Brian Aherne as usual has no fucking   
   idea, just cut and paste open the mouth and the bullshit spews out.   
   Brian spends his days dreaming about dreaming for fuck's sake.  No   
   grip on reality & nobody cares about his opinions anyway.  Get a   
   Twitter account  Brian, see how many followers you can get in say 12   
   months.  You won't, you're far too cowardly for that as well.
